What happened, with direct paths to the underlying reporting
Yext reported Q2 EPS of $0.21 vs $0.17 expected and revenue of $111.103 million, just under the $111.3 million estimate. The stock surged about 8.4% to $7.34 as the company announced expansion of its agentic marketing platform. While earnings beat supports sentiment, the slight revenue miss introduces near-term valuation questions amid a broader market decline.
